After the age of thin models in the 1990&#39;s and an increase in &quot;celebrity&quot; and reality TV culture in the early 2000s, we are now entering an age where beautiful, full-figured famous women are more and more common. The famous, voluptuous women on this list are the hottest full figured celebrities, as ranked by the community.

Maybe this recent trend is due to pop culture reflecting an earlier time of bountiful women before plastic surgery and fad diets, what with the success of Mad Men&nbsp;and Game of Thrones.&nbsp;Or maybe it&#39;s culture as a whole embracing naturally shaped beauty with more voluptuous plus-sized models and clothing lines.

Whatever the reason, these&nbsp;full figured girls are incredibly gorgeous!&nbsp;Vote up the&nbsp;full figured famous women on the list below that you love!

Who is the undisputed most beautiful&nbsp;&#39;Glee&#39; cast member? That&#39;s up to you to decide, with your votes! Be sure to vote up the women you believe are stunning, and vote down those who don&#39;t rock your socks off.

Several of the women on Glee&nbsp;have seen their showbiz careers skyrocket as a result. Among them: Dianna Agron, who appeared in 2011&#39;s I Am Number Four,&nbsp;and Lea Michele, who also made the jump from the small to the big screen with New Year&#39;s Eve.

Several beautiful&nbsp;women have also guest-starred on Glee,&nbsp;including the ever-stunning Gwyneth Paltrow, who has appeared on three memorable episodes as the free-spirited hot substitute teacher Holly Holliday. Kristin Chenoweth&#39;s turn as former McKinley High glee club member April Rhodes was hilarious and&nbsp;sexy. &nbsp;People are always on the lookout for pics of the Glee cast members&nbsp;naked, but these are some of the hottest photos that you can find.

Yes, the ladies of Glee&nbsp;are all wonderfully talented actresses - but they&#39;re also some of the prettiest&nbsp;women on television today. This list includes women who are regular cast members and those with recurring roles and guest roles too. Enjoy, Gleeks!
